My art is a weird and very different sometimes crazy afrofuturistic mix of music and poetry performance and recording circumambulating around the ideas of freedom and defiance through the rebellious yet intergalactic lense of black identity and melanated living, magic, truth and expression manifested as a human Wu Tang song amalgamated info fractal made flesh.

1NE Man Movement represents the ultimate in one individuals artistic expression truly set free. 4 (the 5th one doesn’t exist, it’s not real and I refuse to acknowledge it) different creative entities embodied within one human. (Victor Frantz Rodgers the 2nd) All with distinctively different styles, artistic approaches and even opinions. Over the years they have appeared and creatively manifested throughout the underground art world (primarily in Baltimore, DC, VA, Philly, NYC and Pittsburgh as well as other various places throughout the country) of HipHop, Spoken Word Poetry, Jazz and Theatre. Usually in a seasonal like manor where each one would get major individual shine for a period of time before the mantel was passed on to another. And this particular creative process repeated for about a decade and a half. However I feel that now is the time for each to reemerge simultaneously as one united force of artistic expression!

Lyrical Leviathan is the evoL ancestor of Slick Vic Low, who first emerged into this time period and dimension around early 2000. A ferocious war emcee and very vivid lyricist Leviathan's arrival was originally prophesied in the Nas classic "It ain't hard to tell". He is very dangerous and yes potentially evol at all times, yet always capable of evolving that evoL into its reverse which is Love! Lyrical Leviathan is at complete oneness with the Hip-Hop Spirit Ether, sent by God to Bless the Mic and bring balance back to the force of Hip-Hop expression. A born battle emcee who uses bars like mathematic equations with extremely complex rhyme schemes and punchline mastery. An ancient soul from the future. An emcee who just happens to also write poetry yet in the words of the god Rakim he takes this “way more serious than just a poem!”

The Second twin cousin of the group is none other than the entity known as Thelonious Coltrane. Imagine the spirits of Jazz musicians that live inside HipHop lyrics brought to life. That is the essence of Thelonious Coltrane. Inspired by a description of the producer Madlib’s approach to creating beats plus Victor Rodgers’ long time obsessive level of appreciation for Jazz and how it was in many ways one of HipHops key musical and creative DNA strands, Thelonious Coltrane was born. A Jazz Emcee who fuses poetry with HipHop lyricism in strange and often unusual ways Thelonious Coltrane essentially seeks to lyrically live inside the beat. Thelonious Coltrane is “Existence Music”.
